Thoroughly revised edition of the classic text on polymerprocessing
The Second Edition brings the classic text on polymer processingthoroughly up to date with the latest fundamental developments inpolymer processing, while retaining the critically acclaimedapproach of the First Edition. Readers are provided with thecomplete panorama of polymer processing, starting with fundamentalconcepts through the latest current industry practices and futuredirections. All the chapters have been revised and updated, andfour new chapters have been added to introduce the latestdevelopments.
Readers familiar with the First Edition will discover a host of newmaterial, including:
* Blend and alloy microstructuring
* Twin screw-based melting and chaotic mixing mechanisms
* Reactive processing
* Devolatilization--theory, mechanisms, and industrialpractice
* Compounding--theory and industrial practice
* The increasingly important role of computational fluidmechanics
* A systematic approach to machine configuration design
The Second Edition expands on the unique approach thatdistinguishes it from comparative texts. Rather than focus onspecific processing methods, the authors assert that polymers havea similar experience in any processing machine and that theseexperiences can be described by a set of elementary processingsteps that prepare the polymer for any of the shaping methods. Onthe other hand, the authors do emphasize the unique features ofparticular polymer processing methods and machines, including theparticular elementary step and shaping mechanisms and geometricalsolutions.
Replete with problem sets and a solutions manual for instructors,this textbook is recommended for undergraduate and graduatestudents in chemical engineering and polymer and materialsengineering and science. It will also prove invaluable for industryprofessionals as a fundamental polymer processing analysis andsynthesis reference.
